Okay guys / gals, I didn't want to explain this last week, but I too have a source. Let me explain:
I have an AKC golden retriever that has won many medals in competitions across the country. As such, requests for Scout's stud services come up often and when the timing is right, I agree to stud him out. Last week, I got a request from a "high ranking" Verizon Director of Marketing who wanted to breed her golden, Molly. I sent Scout to New York to perform the services and over the course of pillow talk, Molly told Scout that her owner told her the date was 12/8.
Now, I know what you must be thinking: "Even if Molly DID know the date and DID tell Scout what it was, how would he be able to convey this message to burntorangefan? He doesn't speak golden retriever!"
Well what I haven't told you is that Scout is also the spokesman for Bush's Baked Beans and as most of you are probably aware, he speaks PERFECT English!!! So there you have it, as much as I don't want to have to tell you, this information is extremely credible and I'd advise the OP be updated accordingly.
